1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1⁄2 teaspoons ground coriander
1⁄2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 bag spinach, well washed, tough stalks cut out

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180 ̊C.
Cut the pumpkin into slim wedges, brush with olive oil and season.
Place on a lined baking tray and roast until just tender. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, coriander and the raisins. Season and cook until the onion is tender. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the chickpeas and spinach and cook for 3 minutes to wilt the spinach.
Stir in the lemon juice and set aside to cool.
